First place Quote by Jenna Kernan
““Dang it, Chance. You been here one day and you killed a man and split another one's skull open. I got enough to do without you adding more work." Chance kept his tone level. "He drew on me." "Why were you over in the Badlands in the first place?" "You know why." Bowie glared, then lowered his voice. "Think you can get through a day without killing someone?" "Don't know. It's early yet.””
